Ask Your Teacher A scale reads 344 N when a piece of nickel is hanging from it. What does it read (in N) when it is lowered so that the nickel is submerged in water Please help solve, I need help with how to calculate. Thank you

Expert Solution

Given:

Weight of given nickel piece,

-------------

Points to remember:

Density of nickel,

Density = Mass/Volume

Volume = Mass/Density

Buoyant force = Density of the fluid*Volume of fluid displaced*g

Given that the nickel piece is fully submerged in water. If an object is fully submerged in a fluid, the volume of fluid displaced is equal to the volume of the object.

==============================

When the nickel piece is submerged in water, it experiences a buoyant force acting upwards opposite to its weight.

This causes the scale to display a lower value than the original weight of the nickel piece.

So Apparent weight,

A vertical scale on a spring balance reads from 0 to 200 N. The scale has a length of 10.0 cm from the 0 to 200 N reading. A fish hanging from the bottom of the spring oscillates vertically at a frequency of 2.05 Hz.Ignoring the mass of the spring, what is the mass m of the fish?

ASK YOUR TEACHER Recall from Example 1 that whenever Suzan sees a bag of marbles, she grabs a handful at random. She has seen a bag containing three red marbles, four green ones, three white ones, and three purple ones. She grabs eight of them. Find the probability of the following event, expressing it as a fraction in lowest terms. HINT [See Example 1.] She does not have all the green ones.

ASK YOUR TEACHER According to a survey conducted in a certain year by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of 3005 adults who were home broadband users, 31.5% of those surveyed had switched their service over the past 3 years. Of those who had switched service in the past 3 years, 53% were very satisfied, 37% were somewhat satisfied, and 10% were not satisfied with their service. Of the 68.5% who had not switched service in the past 3 years, 46%...

ASK YOUR TEACHER In this problem, assume that the distribution of differences is approximately normal. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some situations, this choice of d.f. may increase the P-value by a small amount and therefore produce a slightly more "conservative" answer. In environmental studies, sex ratios are of great importance. Wolf society, packs, and ecology have been studied extensively at different locations in the...

Java: create a program that reads in a piece of DNA sequence from a sequence file (dna.seq) (alternatively you can use the getRandomSeq(long) method of the RandomSeq class to generate a piece of DNA sequence), and then print out all the codons in three forward reading frames. Design a method called codon() that can be used to find all the codons from three reading frames. The method will take in an argument, the reading frame (1, 2, or 3), and...

My Notes Ask Your Teacher The U.S. Census Bureau reported that in 2015 the proportion of adult Americans, ages 25 and older, who have a bachelor's degree or higher is 0.325.† Consider the population of all adult Americans, ages 25 and over, in 2015 and define p̂ to be the proportion of people in a random sample from this population who have a bachelor's degree or higher. (a) Would p̂ based on a random sample of only 10 people from...

ASK YOUR TEACHER question Sociologists say that 80% of married women claim that their husband's mother is the biggest bone of contention in their marriages (sex and money are lower-rated areas of contention). Suppose that twelve married women are having coffee together one morning. Find the following probabilities. (For each answer, enter a number. Round your answers to three decimal places.) (a) All of them dislike their mother-in-law. (b) None of them dislike their mother-in-law. (c) At least ten of...

A flask of water rests on a scale that reads 100 N. Then, a small block of unknown material is held completely submerged in the water. The block does not touch any part of the flask, and the person holding the block will not tell you whether the block is being pulled up (keeping it from falling further) or pushed down (keeping it from bobbing back up). The experiment is repeated with the six different blocks listed below. In each...
